  Unable to find "SecurityMode" attribute in <binding> element in web.config of WCF service.

  Jul 10, 2012 05:48 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I am writing a WCF Service Application in Visual Studio 2010 using .NET Framework 4.0.

  I am trying to implement BasicHttpBinding with HTTPS. I read in some example that I need to create a custom binding as follow and to set it as "bindingConfiguration" attribute while setting up an endpoint.

  <bindings>
  <basicHttpBinding>
  <binding
  configurationName="UsingHttps"
  securityMode="Https"/>
  </basicHttpBinding>
  </bindings>

  However, when I try to write similar in my web.config, the intellisense is not showing "configurationName" and "securityMode" attributes. What can be the reason here? Do I need to change any setting in Visual Studio IDE?

  Any help on this, much appreciated.

  Thanks
